[@n.b.0212]

Two of the prettiest women in hip hop! Queen and Lyte I salute these ladies

[@mauricejones3387]

Wow, young people who got to see this now understand what a real MC is, MASTER of Ceremonies......that is how you flow....Female or Male is up at the top. That was an entire lyrical display of content.....not a hook and the same thing repeated over and over but an entire story masterfully done with style and a smooth fully clear and understandable, lyrically tight, flowing retort.....or as young people say today FIRE!!!!

[@broadstreetbully4989]

The best old school female rapper ever. She aged beautifully !!!!

[@geediesel316]

great intro cuz she is a great pioneer n most definitely THE GODMOTHER OF HIP HOP n still the bed female to spit on the mic

[@mikeg.9238]

Hell yeah she still got it, I can't even name a female rapper today plus she could probably destroy half of these lame rapper's of today. Oldschool rap rules anyway IMO, better beat's, better lyrics, smoother flow. I'll take EPMD, Eric B , ll cool J, big Daddy Kane and KRS 1 over any of these lame lyric mumbling rapper's today !!!!

[@geediesel316]

+Mike Giannini absolutely. ....biggie wutang mobb deep nas lord finesse redman....ect

[@mikeg.9238]

George Diesel Absolutely 100% , I was lucky back in the day I got to see LL, Big D Kane,PE,Beastie boy's,fat boys,rakim,DMC....

[@geediesel316]

+Mike Giannini i saw the beastie boys run dmc madison square garden 1986 busy b opened the show ill never forget that shit especially since 2 outta the 3 friends i went with passes away ......great memory

[@mikeg.9238]

+George Diesel Cool yup those were the good days, excellent music and alot of venues to see shows.

[@RickGibbonsOfficial]

Audience was wack. A legend like Lyte with a band like that deserves people standing up and groovin to the joint.

[@MsKofi1]

What a sad life for this not to be your type of hype! With that being said, I wonder what moves them?!!? 🤨😤

[@SHELOPable]

Phenomenal! Who would've thought??

[@sheldonwqmg]

Wow! To have Queen Latifah say that about Lyte when Latifah definitely held her own during the same time period is amazing.

[@curtwilliams2683]

MC Lyte looks great.

[@nharrell423]
